Answer 1

In seventh time she ran more than one mile from first time she ran.

Explanation:

Given Vicki started jogging. The first time she ran she ran 3/16 mile. The second time, she ran 3/8 Mile, and the third time, she ran 9/16 mile.

We have to find when was the first time she ran more than one mile.

The sequence followed is

`(3)/(16), (6)/(16), (9)/(16), (12)/(16), (15)/(16), (18)/(16), (21)/(16)....`

First time she ran more than 1 mile is
`(3)/(16)+1=(19)/(16)`

In the seventh time she ran
`(21)/(16)` miles which is more than one mile from the first time.

Hence, in seventh time she ran more than one mile from first time she ran.
